We all want to live a happy life; we don’t want to be miserable. We can overcome the problems we make for ourselves. They don’t come about because of our warm-h...eartedness, but because we give in to anger, hatred and self-centredness. Our intelligence allows us to look at things from a wider perspective, to see that anger and hatred disturb our peace of mind and shatter the warm atmosphere within our families. See more

Namaskara means salutation, and salutation means that you are connecting with, respecting and honouring the other person. You are controlling your arrogance an...d ego and expressing your humility. To be able to smile and drop your aggression, that is forgiveness. The moment you drop your aggression, the other person will also drop their aggression. That is the power of forgiveness.

Yoga and meditation give us tools to help us choose wisely for our health and wellbeing. We always have choice.

World peace can only be based on inner peace. If we ask what destroys our inner peace, it’s not weapons and external threats, but our own inner flaws like anger.... When you meet someone you don’t like, or someone says something unpleasant to you, it’s your own response that disturbs your inner peace. This is why love and compassion are important, because they strengthen us which is a source of hope See more

Tapas or Tapasya is the third of Patanjali’s Niyamas which often translates traditionally as ‘austerity,’ or ‘discipline’. The Yoga Sutras ex...plain that through tapas, we can burn away our mental impurities and gain mastery of the body, mind and senses so that we are able to sit in meditation. The mind is not distracted by the external environment, thoughts or the sensations of the body. See more

In Ayurveda vata dosha is made up of ether and wind. On a day like today she is very evident in the howling we hear and the movement of debris. Vata is light, d...ry , mobile, cold and erratic. As you go through your day take note if this wind affects your body, or your mind. Is there more movement in your mind, loss of attention, anxiety? If so bring in the opposite qualities of stability and calm. A soothing oil massage, warm bath, calming music and a crackling fire. See more

Brahmacharya is depicted in many texts as the practice of celibacy. Many yogis believe that by practicing celibacy or sexual control it will help to conserve vi...tal energy which is important for their progression on their spiritual path. Brahma literally means the ‘divine consciousness’ and charya, in this case, means ‘living’ or ‘one who is established in’. Therefore, Brahmacharya actually means ‘being established in divine consciousness’, or ‘being established in the higher (form of the) mind. (yogamag.net. Yamas and Niyamas (Part 1) In a modern-day context, practicing Brahmarcharya can be interpreted as ‘right use of energy’.
